no tax cut that adds to the deficit. but i do want to reduce the burden being paid by middle income americans, and to do that, that also means i cannot reduce the burden paid by high-income americans. any language to the contrary is simply not accurate. >> mr. president. >> obama: let's talk about taxes, because i think it's instructive. now four years ago when i stood on this stage, i said that i would cut taxes for middle class families, and that's exactly what i did. we cut taxes for middle class families by about $3,600 and the reason is because i believe that we do best when the middle class is doing well and by giving them those tax cuts they had a little more money in their pocket, so maybe they can buy a new car, they are certainly in a better position to weather the extraordinary recession we were in to. they are spending more money. businesses have more customers, make more profits, and hire more workers. now governor romney's proposal calls for a $5 trillion tax cut on top of $2 trillion of additional spending

the federal subsidy for pbs in 2012 doesn't make up a huge part of this deficit. for example, 2012, the federal subsidy for pbs was $444 million. if you compare that to romney's plan for the federal budget, you'll see how miniscule it is. pbs subsidy, $444 million. but if you look at the tax breaks to oil and gas companies that romney defended last night, those add up to $4 billion this year alone. and take a look at mitt romney's plan for the defense budget. he wants to increase spending by $2 trillion over the next ten years. so, i mean, big bird is a big diversion to what he's really talking about in terms of the deficit. >> well, i think those of us out here crave specifics from governor romney. and when he's talked about this in the past, he's often thrown big bird under the bus. i don't know what would happen if he threw big bird under the bass. maybe the bus would go off the road. but never the let's, he has this little set piece he does. do you want to know what i'll cut? i'll cut pbs and big bird, the national endowment of humanities and the amtrak subsid
